Just a quick update on the wilting Sarrs. They are once again healthy.
The problem was that they were too wet. The plants were too wet over the
winter and experienced root rot, when the new growth came in the spring,
the pitchers began to wilt because of a failing root system. Within days
after dumping the water from the trays and letting the plants dry out,
the plants started their road to recovery. Thanks to all of you who sent
input, special thanks to whoever passed on the "drying out" tip, you've
saved my rubra sspp collection!
